So, you want whiter teeth. Maybe you’re not satisfied with how they look when you see them in the mirror. Perhaps someone has mentioned something to you. Or you might simply be concerned with how you come across professionally. Our Sheepshead Bay dentist certainly understands your concerns. Not all that many years ago, there were not many options available for correcting the problem of teeth that were stained or discolored. But today, you can have whiter teeth and a better smile and it can be both easy and convenient. Our at-home teeth whitening allows you to do it on your own, at a time that best suits you, without having to fit visits to our office into your busy schedule.

Sure, you’ve probably seen those products on store shelves that promise to make your teeth whiter. Do they work? Some of them do a good job, but many of them also have abrasive ingredients and that means they can damage your precious tooth enamel. What good is it to whiten your teeth if you’re eroding them at the same time? Our Sheepshead Bay dentist wants you to know that our teeth whitening system is completely and 100% safe to use. Your teeth will not be harmed in any way.

Often it is the result of your everyday habits that leads to your teeth becoming stained or discolored. Beverages and foods, such as tea, coffee, red wine, berries, soy sauce, and curry, are known culprits. The same is true of tobacco, no matter what way you use it. Some prescription drugs, notably tetracycline, also have a negative impact on the color of your teeth. Age also plays its part. Your tooth enamel wears down as you get older and the tissue that is underneath simply isn’t as white and bright. No matter what the reason is for needing your teeth whiter, you can count on our Sheepshead Bay dentist to offer you the solution you want.

All it takes is a single visit here to pick up your materials and to get a quick tutorial on how to use our teeth whitening system (don’t worry, it’s not at all difficult). Within days, you’ll start noticing the improvement you’ve been hoping for. Exactly how long it will take depends on the color your teeth are at the start and how white you want them to be. Our Sheepshead Bay dentist will discuss your goals with you.
